Happy international Cat Day!

“A black cat crossing your path signifies that the animal is going somewhere” Groucho Marx

Ode to all Freakish Felines

Freakishly feline
Or a soft purring ball
How easy to unwind
Soon to a sleep fall

Just borrow for a while
But rest assured, the little gems
Will leave you in big smiles

Grey skies above the waters

“We travel,
some of us forever,
to seek other places,
other lives,
other souls.”
– Anais Nin

Grey skies above the waters

When the heavy rain filled storm clouds

Grey skies still above the waters
As the wind slowly subsides before
The soft and damp mist arises
Keeping nature very still and calm
After the storm has finally gone
Blue are now the surrounding skies
Blue as the clear waters all around
The sound of nature gently returning
As after all, the world keeps on turning
